Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

This year I created a novel study for my fifth graders. They love to read, and as a class we created a list of books they are interested in. Each student will get to choose what book they want to read and will work in small groups to complete the novel study.

I want my students to feel connected and to see themselves in the books they read.

With this donation, you will continue to foster their learning and love for books. Thank you so much for supporting my class.
